Dragon Age 3 - E3 2013 Trailer and 2014 Release

June 10th, 2013, 23:00

It's time for another E3 RPG trailerthis time for Dragon Age: Inquisition. The game will be using the Frostbite Engine 3 and will be an open world RPG with player choice. The new release date is set to Fall 2014 instead of this year also.

Hmmm…Dragon Age, Dragon Age. What should we do with you Dragon Age?
Let us see some gameplay. Just to see where EA and BW want to teke it this time.
DAO was a great game for me. DA2 was a disaster.
Could DA3 rise the trilogy from ashes?

One of the strongest points in Dragon Age series is its characters. DA2 has many flows but it's characters and story was interesting. I'm really looking forward to that game. Long development time is a plus also. It seems it won't be a rushed product like DA2. I hope they're not tying to make a Skyrim copy (where exploration great, but shallow characters and dialogues).

True DA3 formula for me=Strong characters (like in the old games)+Tactical Combat(a mix between Origins and DA2)+Semi-open world with exploration (not copy paste dungeons of DA2, more Skyrim freedom feeling)+Little bit choices&consequences (but I don't expect much since more c&c means more budget, development time and costs which publishers like EA don't like much.)

Yeah put me under the "meh" group as well. That really wasn't revealing anything - nothing about the story (we all know there's going to be a big war, so boo), whether those characters will return and play major role (Morrigan, Varric and Cassandra). Just like ME series, most likely I will play this one just to finish the trilogy, but DA series is so much inferior compared to ME series (and that is including the absolute wtf ending of ME3).

Morrigan doesn't really sound like her to me (something just sound different, could it be Flemeth?) If there's one thing that really interests me in DA series, it's the connection between Flemeth and Morrigan. Really wishing that we will get some story based on those 2 in DA3.

The game will be using the Frostbite Engine 3 and will be an open world RPG with player choice. The new release date is set to Fall 2014 instead of this year also.

So much for "we aren't going to do open world games since that isn't our thing". Granted I gave up on Dragon Age after they decided it wasn't going to be a Baldur's Gate successor anymore and just was going to be whatever EA's focus groups thought was popular at the time Dragon Age 2 came out. It'll be interesting to see how a Bioware made Skyrim imitator looks, but I don't really care much.
